Monster Sheepshead

I decided not to take the kayak out today and do a little more relaxed fishing. I headed out to John U. Lloyd state beach park to try and catch some sheepshead. I caught tiny live crabs for bait and started fishing. I had a few nibbles here and there but nothing hooked. Finally I moved spots and saw a huge sheepshead picking at some rocks. I cast my crab right next to him and within a few seconds I was hooked up. I was using a $20 dollar clearance rod that I picked up from target a day earlier. It had 4lb test on it and I was definitely putting max effort on every inch of that set up. All in all I reeled in a beast of a sheepshead. I have a huge new your strip steak sitting in my fridge plus it was Christmas so I decided to let him go. It was a great day to spend some time fishing. Tight lines everyone!

[@orionm427]

dude nice catch however that would have been a Christmas dinner no doubt. be blessed.

[@SBOGEY5555]

+orion m42 Haha for sure! Thanks brotha!

[@CathySue911]

Zoffy fan for sure here also! Nice fish!

[@soundsofstardom8431]

I fish in this spot but directly across on that beach area. About a year ago, I saw one that size, about 4 feet from shore on that beach in 3-4 ft of water. Cannot wait until i get my Kraken Kayak and dominate the inshore area of Dania Bch!! Tight Lines!

[@hunrb27]

Good for you, releasing such a good eating fish. Don't know if I could of done it lol. Nice Catch!

[@SBOGEY5555]

[@lilmanbullies4380]

nice sheep head and video thats my next fish i want to catch on my list

[@SBOGEY5555]

Thanks Maurice Brown! They seem very easy to catch. That was my first time sheepshead fishing. Go get them buddy!

[@graemewilliams1308]

Breeding stock, smart to let it go.

[@latitudemarine4975]

all the people trying to belittle you about the size don't know what they are talking about! Nice sheep for sure!

[@SBOGEY5555]

+CAPT CALEB Thanks brotha! Everyone has there own opinions and I welcome all. It's good to see conversation.

[@Bbfishman]

definitely would have kept him...thats a nice fish

[@SBOGEY5555]

I was thinking about keeping him but it was Christmas and I had a nice juicy steak waiting for me at home.

[@GulfFishing990]

Nice fish. I'd get very, very annoyed using 4lb line though...

[@SBOGEY5555]

Trust me, it was a challenge not to try and man handle him in. I do like the fact that it's more fun to catch fish with light tackle though. It makes the battle more interesting!

[@GulfFishing990]

+SBOGEY5555 true

[@dajalsuci8391]

i do really like that guy (marty) from the kayak to the quick boat..all the videos..

[@SupremeFishingSF]

I can't believe it. I saw the sheepshead there one day one have to be at least 5 lbs. I gotta look for crabs now. Glad I found your video. I saw about 3 right were u are fishing about the same time.

[@SBOGEY5555]

Supreme Fishing I'm glad you found the video. It's a great spot. There are a lot of species that hang out in that area.

[@SupremeFishingSF]

Yup!! I will be trying to catch some next time I go!!!

[@bigal1419]

Sweet landing that pig on a crappie rod! Really cool being Christmas and you decided to release!

[@SBOGEY5555]

+Big Al Thanks brotha! I would feel bad if I took it home to eat on Christmas. Plus I had a good size steak waiting for me in the fridge!

[@spearchuckersdiving4403]

Nice sheepshead dude.

[@SBOGEY5555]

+SpearChuckersDiving Thank you!

[@jc3944]

You're lucky that the line didn't snap. You want to use 10-20 lb line, this seems to be the best for me. Here in North Florida, fiddler crabs are everywhere on banks where high grass is. They are easier to get at low tide, and hide in small holes in the sand. They live in groups of around 100, so they're easy to get.

[@SBOGEY5555]

Thanks for the info. I decided to go out and mess around that day. I had zero intention of actually catching something that big on a cheap rod and reel. To be honest I only found 3 crabs that day so I guess you can say a lot of luck played into it. Thanks for watching!

[@SBOGEY5555]

Ben Bayers I'm actually in south Florida. In the ft. Lauderdale area.

[@davids970]

Daniel Alarcon Thank you! Zoffinger makes some awesome videos!

[@9571kent]

Nice video but that sheepshead wasn't that big. It was average but they put up a hell of a fight. I'm surprised you got him with 4 pound test! Nice job man. Check my spreafishing video out if you wanna see big!

Very nice sheephead buddy. Good karma release on that guy. I fished that day also offshore and landed 3 blackfins. Nope...no release on those babies.

[@SBOGEY5555]

Thanks Frank! I had a couple hours to kill that day so why not spend it fishing! Haha! Good job on the blackfins. I hope to see a video from you soon!

[@treday327]

googan 😂😂😂

[@finnhackett7835]

Whets this at haha

[@SBOGEY5555]

Finn Hackett it's a John I Lloyd state park right next to the boat ramp.

[@mrs.chandler9384]

That's an average size...

[@trumptydumpty4124]

im in Florida and that is not a very big sheepshead. i am a spearfisher men and have hit some over 15-20 pounds. but that is still a good fish caught with light gear. Good job

[@samuelalejandrosalazarcabr5309]

ScpZ Clan Hey man,the FL Sheepshead its 8 lbs and u said that????. Come on,thats a really big fish

[@trumptydumpty4124]

Ya I have seen and speared fish that size many times at pine island Beach

[@willp9834]

tiny as fuck

[@SlackTideWanderer1810]

bet you hear that a lot .....

[@nanascorner1806]

That is not a monster I have seen 3 feet

[@thefruithunter2672]

Hmmm...funny how the world record sheephead was only 28". I seriously doubt you saw 3 foot sheepheads.

[@rspslastresort]

the fruit hunter there are diff type of sheepshead, there are fish where i live that can get to about 2 1/2 feet and we call them sheepshead.

[@thefruithunter2672]

rspslastresort I call BS. Stop trying to lie to make yourself feel better. Because all you catch is little hardheads.

[@jacorie4]

+the fruit hunter people use the name sheepshead for different fish. Look it up yourself

[@thefruithunter2672]

+eddie perkins that may be true, but the vid was of a sheephead and you said you've seen the same kind of fish 3ft long. stop making excuses saying you're talking about a different kind of fish.

[@stevenonthewater6070]

dude your camera clearly has sound due the the mounds of annoying sounds , why not just talk??? It's super annoying to sit here and read commentaries while camera noises fill my speakers

[@SBOGEY5555]

Yea I know, I was fairly new to the whole filming thing. I should have used a open skeleton for the gopro or maybe talked to the camera while I was fishing. Lol!

[@stevenonthewater6070]

+SBOGEY5555 good sheepshead thou
